I believe that architecture is not only about the design and construction of buildings, but also about the social, cultural, and emotional dimensions that come into play when people engage with the space we create. With a passion for sustainable and socially responsible architecture, I am eager to contribute to making spaces that are beautiful, functional, and environmentally conscious.
Through my academic coursework and experiences, I wish to pursue a career where I can apply my creativity, problem-solving abilities and skills to contribute positively towards society and make a difference.
